"What?"
Irene looked up in confusion, only to be met by a sky full of fist shadows.
Second Layer Liberation! Ten Thousand Punch Barrage!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The church members inside didn't even have time to scream before they were blasted into ashes.
"Despicable!!!"
With her hair disheveled and face grimy, Irene rushed out of the ruins, only for a white bone tail to wrap tightly around her body.
Union Power: Energy Breath!
By now, King's Union Power had reached its peak after multiple fusions, and he discovered he could share the power stored within the Divine Core with 101.
Blue flames, containing an immense Union Power, instantly enveloped Irene's body, knocking her unconscious in an instant.
(Kid, wait a second!)
Just as King was about to deliver the killing blow, the voice of 101 suddenly echoed in his mind.
(What is it?)
King knew 101 wouldn't stop him without a reason, so he ceased his attack.
(If you want to oppose the God of the 10th Galaxy, it's best to keep her alive.)
101's words were thought-provoking, and King immediately understood its meaning.
In fact, he had also considered what would become of the 10th Galaxy after dealing with the God here.
If this place were completely liberated and ruled by the Brave Association, the result would be other Gods continuing to invade, and the 10th Galaxy would face never-ending warfare.
Instead of that, it would be better to have 101 rule this place. Not only could it avoid conflict, but it could also prevent invasions from other Gods.
(If I can truly occupy this galaxy, I can definitely evolve to be even more powerful than before.) 101's tone revealed a burning desire.
It clearly craved this galaxy. Resources were abundant, the foundation was mature, and the church's ideology was deeply ingrained in the people's hearts.
Most importantly, there! Were! No! Bald! People!
(Ihen this person is quite suitable.) King curled his lip.
Irene was now only half a step away from the Divine Emissary level, making her very easy to control.
If he were to take over the 10th Galaxy in 101's name in the future, Divine Emissaries and God's agents would be indispensable.
After all, the various star domains still needed them to manage things on the surface. Until the root problem of Gods was completely resolved, the 10th Galaxy still needed to endure.
(Then she's in your hands.)
King placed Irene on the ground. She was already in a coma and was immediately pulled into the mental world by 101.
"The Energy Mineral Vein should be nearby."
King ignored Irene's situation.
If 101 couldn't handle a heavily injured God's agent, it shouldn't be a god.
Whoosh!
King emerged from the church and took to the sky, heading into the distance.
"This is the place!"
King could sense the massive energy coming from the nearby warehouse. Since everyone had been summoned to the church, this place was unguarded.
"That's quite a lot."
Clatter!
King pushed open the warehouse doors, and what met his eyes were Energy Stones shining like stars.
'System, fuse them for me.'
Whoosh!
Streaks of light shot out, sweeping away all the Energy Stones.
"Only this much?" King frowned.
The total number of Energy Stones only added up to a bit over thirty thousand.
"The Energy Mineral Vein is right below."
King sensed the massive energy coming from underground and slightly hooked his finger.
Rumble!
The entire ground trembled as countless boulders floated into the air, and the Energy Mineral Vein appeared directly before King.
Fuse!
The unmined Energy Mineral Vein was fused and absorbed by the system, increasing the number of Energy Stones by a full five hundred thousand.
"Not bad. One Energy Mineral Vein can provide about a million Energy Stones. These veins must be what the Domain Lords are fighting over."
A miniature vast starry sky appeared at his fingertips. King could feel the immense power within. If it reached a certain level, it could definitely destroy a planet with ease.
He finally understood why the five star domains fought each other, such power was indeed something to yearn for.
"I hope the other strongholds will also give me surprises." King was eager to try.
He planned to take advantage of the Brave Association's crusade to collect more Stellar Energy Stones.
...
Meanwhile, the outside world was already in chaos. The Brave Association's crusade army had suddenly attacked multiple church strongholds, and even cities ruled by the Sky Tribe suffered various degrees of attack.
However, the Brave Association had mostly deployed mechanized legions this time, which was how they were able to initiate a battle of this scale.
"Speed up the suppression of the church members. Evacuate immediately after destroying this place, or it'll be bad once the Divine Emissaries arrive."
Teroma was commanding the battle. The church stronghold they were attacking had only one God's agent, who was now being besieged by three S-Class Bravves and had fallen into a disadvantage.
As for the other believers, they had no power to resist the combined forces of the mechanized legions and Brave Association members and were quickly wiped out.
"Teroma! News came from over there, the stronghold near the Energy Mineral Vein is suspected to have been destroyed."
"What? Could it really be him?!" Teroma's pupils constricted.
The strongholds he had given to King were heavily guarded by the church, with several God's agents or even Divine Emissaries stationed there. He hadn't expected King to actually succeed. At this moment, Teroma realized he might have misunderstood King.
Furthermore, he had confirmed the events of the Dimensional City from the intelligence obtained from headquarters. It seemed King really had crossed over from the Dragon Domain.
In reality, Energy Mineral Veins were more important than anything else to the church. The stronghold King destroyed indeed used to have a Divine Emissary personally stationed there.
However, his recent action of crossing over from the Dragon Domain had alerted the Lord of Sky Domain. Consequently, all Divine Emissaries had been summoned during this period to stand ready against a possible invasion from the Dragon Domain.
This indirectly lowered the difficulty of the Brave Association's crusade, as a single Divine Emissary could easily deal with several S-Class Braves.
"Great! Find a way to notify King and invite him to join this crusade as well." Teroma was extremely excited.
With such a powerful combatant like King joining them, their crusade would proceed even more smoothly.
Rumble!
Just then, a series of explosions rang out as the hundreds of robots besieging the church exploded one after another.
"What happened?"
"It's bad, Teroma! It's the God's agents!"
Teroma's heart jolted. He looked up to see three powerful auras arriving together.
"It's too late... three God's agents!"
A sense of despair welled up in his heart. If it were only two God's agents, they might still have a chance with their current strength. But including the one already fighting, there were now four God's agents present. The Brave Association had no chance of victory.
"Despicable heretics, today is the day you die!!!"
